Lonnie’s tongue is about to be removed. What will he say to loved ones with his final words? The BBC’s Olivia Lace-Evans spent a week with Lonnie’s family before his surgery.
The seed for VocaliD was planted at TEDWomen 2013 when Dr. Rupal Patel exclaimed that… “Each one of us has a unique voiceprint that reflects our age, our size, even our lifestyle and personality.”
“As a speech scientist,” she continued “I’m fascinated by how the voice is produced, and I have an idea how it can be engineered.”
The international response to this TED talk brought VocaliD to life.
